No, you do not need to hold a Mat Pilates qualification before enrolling on our Reformer Instructor Training.Our Reformer course is a standalone training course, meaning you can qualify as a Reformer instructor without first completing a Mat Pilates qualification.However, you must meet our entry requirements, including the necessary anatomy and physiology knowledge and a minimum of 30 Reformer classes before beginning your training.If you're looking to broaden your knowledge and teaching opportunities, our Level 3 Mat Pilates qualification is a great way to complement your Reformer training, but it is not compulsory.

The time it takes to become qualified varies depending on the course you choose and how quickly you complete your coursework and assessments.Reformer Pilates & Wunda Chair Instructor TrainingBoth courses are delivered over three consecutive in-person training days. Following the practical training, students are required to complete coursework and assessments, with qualification typically achieved within approximately 12 weeks.Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor TrainingOur Level 3 Mat Pilates qualification is delivered through a blended learning format, combining two days of online training with two days of in-person practical training.As this is a Level 3 Diploma, the qualification involves more extensive coursework, including anatomy and physiology modules, written assignments and practical assessments. Students should therefore expect a longer qualification timeframe, typically around 3–6 months, depending on their progress and completion of the required assessments.Anatomy & Physiology Workshop and Pre & Postnatal CPDOur Anatomy & Physiology Workshop is delivered online through self-paced learning, allowing students to complete the content at their own pace.Our Pre & Postnatal CPD is delivered as a one-day practical workshop.Please note: All qualification timeframes are estimates and depend on the successful completion of the required coursework and assessments.
